I emailed LEGO telling them I am a * year old animator and was wondering if I could animate stop motion LEGO films for LEGO.com. I told the person I was emailing I wanted my talents to be noticed, and I would animate free of charge, unless they wanted to give me some stuff or money in return.

I got an email back that said:

Dear ___,
Thanks for emailing us. Unfortunately, you are a year too young to animate for us. You seem like a very talented child. From what I know, we would be happy if you animated for us. I haven't asked anyone else about this because like I said, your just a little bit too young.... Anyways, maybe when you get a year or so older.

I just went to contact us on the LEGO website...... but they also said that they cannot save my email... a law of the COPPA's. (not meaning cops ) So you have to be older to email them. But you have to be a good animator, thy told me hey have trouble finding people good at this. And they made sure I was in the U.S. before making any promises.

Well done Ellie! Did you change it to the *? It was so fast, like a ninja, that I didn't even see his age! Good job!
I might apply for this lego animation as when I was at my "peak" I was working on 30 fps and it was so fluid
